I know the comparison was made way earlier, but Bruce Lee was not a terribly good example of a Martial Artist who could whip a MMA fighters ass, because even Bruce Lee said that Martial Arts tends to have all these weird limitations and rules that slow you down. He would be one to straight punch you in the face before he would do some weird crane style ambush on you haha.

Are you guys really gonna sit here and tell me a monk who devotes almost every waking hour to training his body wouldn't dominate in MMA?

Ridiculous.

Put it this way, I personally knew a guy who got who got a pool cue broken over his head, which is considerably thinner than those wood sticks or w/e these guys used. He died a few days later from brain damage.

Do you people seriously believe that MMA started with UFC and all that bullshit?... Shit dates all the way back to B.C. times, it just wasn't called MMA back then.

Anyway, there's a lot of styles that I would happily put against MMA fighters. I've personally seen the effects of Akikido against a Vale Tudo style take-down, shit would end an MMA fight in seconds. The demonstrations are nothing, the amount of hurt this style can put on an aggressor is unbelievable. Good luck finding an instructor in the US though... Brazilian Ju Jitsu, which is the style that ran MMA with an iron fist the first 2 years, and again the 4th year, is a "Gi" wearing style as well.

of course there are monks living in the Chinese mountains that could make fedor's heart explode just by fucking looking at him. but they wouldn't do that, because they utilize their chi for other more important stuff such as meditating and chanting
